Reportedly, more than two thousand buildings damaged near the city of Shigatse .
The British Geological Survey's Roger Musson told the BBC, aftershocks could still bring some nasty moments.
He says they still haven't experienced the strongest aftershock, which is usually one magnitude weaker than the initial quake.
